129 is at about 27 degrees above the horizon in Puerto Rico, but you are VERY far from the beams, only spurrious signal would be available and a humongous dish might pull in a little signal but we can't afford that.

Ok, thanks alot guys. So i'm just gonna forget about 129. One more question, how many HD channels would i get using 110, 119 and 61.5 (i hear that the only other satellite that gives hd to puerto rico is 61.5) assuiming i have the most expensive package dish network provides giving me all the HD's available? How many channels are we talking about? I heard around 20? Is this even possible? Would love to know, thanks! Or if you guys can tell me where i can find such information regarding HD channel count in Puerto Rico, i'd gladly go and read.

Yep. I need to go through my site and update a lot of things like that reference. Fortunately most of the "important stuff" (like channel lists) is updated automatically. I updated the capacity page last night to reflect the current situation.

does this help out Puerto Rico and their HD crisis? LOL

Unfortunately not. The coverage of the satellite at 72.7 is roughly the same on all transponders. Continental US, no PR.
